I've considered and reconsidered this decision many times over now. For as long as I can remember I never wanted to be one of those guru fuckers selling ebooks or seminars or any of that nonsense. Still, I can say I am not one of those churn and burn imbeciles.
After that AMA I did on Sept 11 2013, I got a tonnnnnn of inquiries about my covert firm and some of the fun projects we've worked on. Mostly, I can't and won't discuss it, but it really got me thinking that maybe I should go back to my roots. Guys from this industry are my roots. Helping guys like you.
But let's not call it helping, because when you help someone, you should do so for free or without expecting direct payment for it, unless you're a doctor. Which none of you are. So stop right there.
Let's instead call it BUILDING VALUE.
I know, its such a bullshit name, but its got some real truth in it.
See, since I started WickedFire, I've had the pleasure (and some displeasure too), of meeting and connecting with a TON of people. Most of them very cool and nice and even interesting folk. Nearly all of them had something in common with me. A desire to make a shitload of money, creatively, and usually kinda quickly too, without breaking the law and without it being too expensive. I still very much agree with this mantra. Its the pulse that drives this industry and most of you in it. It can propel your business to great heights. You are all very much risk takers, some far more aggressive and ambitious than others.
I've never grown tired of hearing your stories and pitches or what you've done, how you've failed and overcome major obstacles or life changes that lead to great success, or worse, great failure to learn from and do it right a second time. I do LOVE these kinds of stories and accounts.
So that's why I'm going to offer you guys and girls, whether you're a network, an affiliate, a merchant/advertiser, an seo/sem/rep management person, or whatever the fuck you do in this industry... Something that will build immense value in whatever goal you're trying to accomplish.
My time. My brain power. My perspective. My attitude.
LET ME ANSWER YOUR "HOW DO I GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL" or "HERE IS WHAT I DO, AND HERE IS WHAT I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH, HOW DO I GET THERE?" inquiries.
Pretend as if I am an adviser you can access, on your board. Everything posed to me and discussed will remain between us. I'll even make some intros if you're genuine and the real fuckin deal too. (note: I don't ever make recommendations or intros unless I know both sides are legit and won't fuck around. I don't do it often and I'm usually not compensated for any of it. Srsly.)
Why would you want to have access to me? That is just a mighty fine question to be asking.. The answer is simple. Because if you don't, someone that is lazier than you that just wants access to the answers or the intro to some impressive as fuck connections will do it instead, and steam roll your operation, leaving you wondering what the fuck just smashed your sunny days...
But seriously, that's not an unlikely scenario.
I'll admit it now. I'm a fucking expert at so many aspects of this industry that the only reason YOU are still in business is because you don't have to face ME as a competitor.
- If I owned an aff network, I guarantee that at least 75% of the networks in operation now, would be closed after the first year with me as a competitor.
- If I were back to being an affiliate, most of these offers running now would be given to me first, and I'd be dead set on nuking the shit out of all of your operations, plus, beating you at every turn for every type of paid traffic. Eventually, I'd push most of you out.
- If I went back to being a merchant, the traffic sources most of you depend on would magically dry up, and I would absolutely decimate your livelihood. I have access nowadays to the right banks (domestic and EU/Intl) at the right prices, that alone would make you beg and plead to just go away and leave you be.
- If I became an SEO/SEM agency, your clients would magically find their way into my portfolio and you'd find your agency at the bottom of the shit pile in every sense.
I play to win and conquer, every single fucking time. Otherwise, why play at all?
- I will unfuck your shitty attitude... if that's what you want.
- I can inspire an entire team of AM's on a single call... if that's what you need.
- I can change your perspective and open your eyes to new and far more lucrative niches in your field that your competitors won't ever see!... if that's what you need.
My mind is bar none ahead of most everyone you've ever encountered in the art of coming up with unique and innovative ways to turn nothing, into something, and profit from it. LEGALLY.
Those of you whom are reading this and have had those long ass (probably Adderall fueled, sorry!) convos with me where I blow your fucking mind and show you crazy ways to make REAL money... know full well what I'm referring to here.
You see, I approach every project as if I'm General George S Fucking Patton himself, going to war with the goal of declaring ABSOLUTE VICTORY and nothing less.
See.. I've done most of what all of you have done or dabbled in until now. I cannot keep wasting my time without being compensated for it. So I won't.
From this point on.. as much as I still love hearing your stories and giving you free advice, to see you take it and prosper, or to do intros for you, that take you onto the next level.. well... those days need to end now. As building value for me, is just taking up time I could be spending making more money. Building more value to those that can pay for it and really use it. And most of all, to keep myself in the uber productive mindset I've spent so many years crafting.
Here's how this works...
*** FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY!!!! *** (But, really I do mean it...)
If you want access to my and my ferocious awesomeness and ability to profit from anything and everything in the world, and want my perspective, my intros or whatever the hell your goal that you're trying to accomplish is... this is for you.
But hey, even if you're a lazy sack of shit, by all means, submit your application after paying too. I'll gladly take your money and give you some advice. But if you don't follow it, that's your loss fuckhead, not mine!
STEP 1:
Go here: JON'S APPLICATION FEE. -- pay the fee of $216. (OMG!! THAT IS SO RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP BRAH!! ZOMG JON HAS SOLD OUT FOR A SILLY $216!! HEY EVERYONE, THE ILLUMINATI IS FOR SALE FOR LESS THAN $250!!! --- YES!)
NOTE: MAKE SURE TO COPY THE PAYPAL TRANSACTION VERIFICATION CODE!
STEP 2:
You're going to get your thoughts together. Write it out in a quick summary. Add some bullet points of goals you want me to assist you in accomplishing. Don't put anything too crazy on there, definitely be realistic though.
STEP 3:
Copy and paste what you just wrote out, look it over and fix up the spelling mistakes unrealistic goals, and put it into an email addressed to Jon AT WickedFire.com (If this part is confusing to you, then just don't bother at all. Please.)
STEP 4:
NOW PASTE that PAYPAL verification code/transaction code into the title of your email!
STEP 5:
SEND THAT EMAIL TO ME!
STEP 6:
YOU WILL GET A CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSACTION IS VERIFIED.
STEP 7:
I WILL RESPOND VIA EMAIL TO YOUR APPLICATION.
STEP 8:
YOU WILL EITHER JERK OFF INTO A PRINTED COPY OF MY ANSWER OR ACTUALLY FOLLOW THE ADVICE GIVEN... Actually, do whatever you like with it... but you bought it. So its yours.
STEP 9:
ALL SALES ARE FINAL.... However.. if you really don't like it, just email me and tell me so.. maybe include why? Sometimes people aren't clear with what they want to accomplish, so I may get it wrong. If I give anymore fucks, I'll try and do it again... if not, then not.
STEP 10:
NO ONE CAN AVOID THE APPLICATION PROCESS. ITS FOR EVERYONE.
Examples:
If you're a network owner and you say "I want more affiliates" then you probably won't get the response you were looking for.
You see.. you are going to fill out a sort of application, and I'm charging you a fee for it. For $216, you send in your summary, and I'll respond back with some quick answers for you, or maybe some suggestions.
If its a quick intro to someone or to a service you may need that you can't find elsewhere, that's doable too. But make sure you have something very specific you're asking for. I'm not Santa Claus. Sorry.
THE UPSELL:
IF you end up having something particularly challenging or interesting or really fun and aggressive that I may want to pursue and help you out with... then I'll respond back, but I'll include the option of retaining my adviser service (time limited, for real, I only have like 2-3 hours per day avail for this for everyone.. so don't be a dick about it if I can't respond back immediately). I'll be charging less than $2500/week for adviser services. You won't get access to my full arsenal and if we are in anything competing I'll let you know as I won't take you on as a client either. I'm expecting to take on five or less o these kinds of clients, and even so, this is all just an experiment, as I want to see if its worth the effort balancing this shit with all of the other fun shit I work on.
If you are one of those very few lucky kids to retain me as an adviser, you will need to shut the fuck up about it. I'll probably have you sign some sort of waiver that demands you keep quiet about me being your possible secret weapon in your arsenal.
Thank you.
